Results Over Time
PRP therapy concentrates platelets from your own blood to naturally stimulate collagen — deeply improving skin texture, tone, and firmness without synthetics.
01Days 0–1
Mild redness and pinpoint swelling at injection sites; resolves within 24 hours.
02Weeks 2–4
Early improvement in skin texture and tone begins as the growth-factor response builds.
03Weeks 4–8
Collagen response develops; skin feels firmer. Results vary between individuals.
04Months 3–6 (scalp)
Increased hair density reported for androgenetic alopecia across a treatment course.

PRP Device & Preparation
PRP uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood by centrifugation — delivering concentrated growth factors for skin rejuvenation, collagen remodeling, and scalp care.
Autologous
Prepared from the patient's own blood, PRP reduces the concern of foreign-material reactions versus synthetic injectables.
Regenerative
Concentrated platelets release growth factors that support collagen remodeling, tissue repair, and scalp revitalization.
Versatile
Used for facial skin quality, post-procedure recovery, and scalp care, depending on the treatment plan.
Treatment Process
01Blood Collection
A small 15–20 mL blood sample is safely drawn from your arm for processing.
02Centrifuge Processing
Blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
03Precision Treatment
PRP is precisely delivered into the skin or scalp using micro-injections.
04Results & Timeline
The 30–45 min session triggers natural collagen renewal over 4–8 weeks.
Recovery & Care
First 24 hours
Mild redness resolves; avoid makeup, vigorous rubbing, and heat on the treated area.
First week
Avoid blood-thinning medications (per your physician), alcohol, and intense sun exposure.
Between sessions
Sessions spaced 4 weeks apart; a full 3–4 session course is typically recommended.
Maintenance (scalp)
Hair-loss PRP typically needs maintenance every 4–6 months to sustain density.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Does PRP work for hair loss?
Scalp PRP has the strongest evidence among PRP indications: randomized-trial meta-analyses show increased hair density at three and six months in pattern hair loss, with certainty graded low-to-moderate. It is used alongside proven drug therapy (finasteride, minoxidil), not as a replacement. Individual results vary.
Q.Does PRP work for facial skin?
Modestly. In a rigorous split-face randomized trial, PRP was no better than saline on objective, dermatologist-rated measures, although patients often reported smoother texture. It can be a reasonable natural option for skin quality, but it is not a dramatic treatment. Individual results vary.
Q.Is PRP safe?
Because PRP uses a concentrate from your own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction or foreign-body response, which makes it one of the gentler regenerative options. Mild redness at the injection sites usually settles within a day; your dermatologist reviews any bleeding-related conditions beforehand.
Q.How many PRP sessions will I need?
A course of 3-4 sessions about four weeks apart is typical. Skin changes develop over 4-8 weeks; scalp density over 3-6 months. Your dermatologist assesses your response before recommending maintenance. Individual results vary.

Session summary & comparison
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Treatment time | About 30-45 minutes, including the blood draw and preparation |
| What it is | Platelet-rich plasma concentrated from your own blood, then injected into skin or scalp to support repair. Because it is from your own body, there is no allergy or foreign-material risk |
| Course & onset | A course of 3-4 sessions about four weeks apart; skin changes develop over 4-8 weeks, scalp density over 3-6 months. Individual results vary |
| Downtime | Minimal — mild redness usually settles within 24 hours |
| Where evidence is strongest | For hair density in pattern hair loss; for facial skin the benefit is more modest |
| Category | PRP | Exosome | Rejuran |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source | Autologous — concentrated from your own blood draw | Cell-free vesicles from cultured cells | Polynucleotide (PDRN) from salmon DNA |
| Evidence | Strongest for hair density in pattern hair loss (RCT meta-analyses, low-to-moderate certainty); modest for facial skin | Preliminary — mostly small studies, effect sizes modest | Growing but limited; mostly small studies for skin quality |
| Regulatory status | Autologous blood product prepared chairside — no synthetic implant | Cosmetic ingredient in Korea, the US and the EU — no approved exosome drug | MFDS Class IV, CE-marked; not FDA-approved as an injectable |
| How it fits | A regenerative option in its own right | An adjunct layered on top of established therapy, not a standalone | A skin-quality booster rather than a volume or lifting treatment |
